Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

As the substance is a multi constituent substance, dissociation constants were calculated for components containing ionizable groups. Therefore, the following pKa constants were determined: 
quarternary propoxylated fatty amine: deprotonation of hydroxy-groups: 13.92, 13.25
propoxylated fatty amine: deprotonation of hydroxy-groups: 15.14, 14.54,
protonation of tertiary amine: 8.91
propane-1,2-diol: deprotonation of hydroxy-groups: 15.62, 14.49

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Based on the calculated pKa values, only propane-1,2 -diol will occur in the protonated form under environmental realistic conditions, the quarternary propoxylated fatty amine as well as the propoxylated fatty amine will be present in its neutral form. For a-chlorotoluene no pKa needs to be determined as the substance does not contain functional groups being capable to dissociate.

For complex mixtures containing ionisable components the assessment of pKa values is clearly complicated. According to the Guidance Document R.7a (ECHA, 2008), an estimation of the individual components’ pKa values, should be considered.
